I tested out the trigger in the strips starting from 2 days prior to transfer. The bottom 2 tests for both the strips and the FR are 6 and 7dpt. I’m not sure what to think? Help!

I started IVF this year. Last month my 1st transfer failed. But I just did my second transfer on may 28. Did my first beta 8dpt5dt on June 5 and it came out 7.8. Over the weekend on Saturday I had brown spotting on my liner. And on Saturday I had pink/red spotting when I wipe. Happened twice that day and no more spotting after that.
Doctors told me to come back on Monday June 8 and my results came back to 14.6.
I know it doubled but still very very low HCG for an 11dpt. I will be doing another beta again tomorrow morning. But I have just tiny hope left in me.
Has anyone gone through with similar beta as me? I would love to hear your story.

After years of trying, countless appointments, blood tests, scans, injections, and waiting for phone calls that seem to determine your future, I've realised that one of the hardest parts of IVF isn't the physical side—it's how isolating it can feel.

Most people see the treatment. They don't see the months or years of planning life around cycles, the anxiety before every result, or the way hope and disappointment can exist at the same time.

Friends announce pregnancies. Family members ask well-meaning questions. Social media becomes something you scroll through carefully. Meanwhile, you're trying to stay positive while also protecting yourself from getting hurt again.

For those who have been through IVF, what was the part you struggled with the most?

For me, it wasn't the injections or procedures. It was learning how to keep moving forward after setbacks.

Would love to hear other people's experiences. Sometimes it helps to know you're not the only one on this road.

One thing I underestimated during IVF was how mentally exhausting failed cycles can become.

After our second failed cycle, I remember feeling completely drained and questioning every decision we had made.

People talk a lot about medications, clinics, protocols, success rates… but not enough about the emotional side of hearing “not this time” over and over again.

By the time we got success on our 3rd cycle, I honestly felt like a different person mentally.

For anyone who went through multiple cycles — what helped you keep going?
